PETA's ridiculous call for taxpayer-funded chicken shrine

November 28, 2017

Australian Conservatives senator Cory Bernardi has moved a Senate motion condemning PETA for its ridiculous call for a taxpayer-funded shrine to honour 6,000 chickens killed in a truck rollover near Lismore, NSW.

(1) notes the latest publicity stunt from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals a.k.a PETA who have called for taxpayers to build a memorial to 6,000 chickens killed in a truck crash near Lismore, New South Wales on Monday 27 November 2017; and

(2) further notes PETA’s history of stunts and attacks on Australia’s livestock farming, meat manufacturing, meat retail, hunting and racing sectors, putting regional jobs and economies at risk; and

(3) calls upon the Commonwealth government and all state and territory governments to resist all attempts by PETA to

further jeopardise Australia’s economy and way of life; and

make demands upon Australian taxpayers.
